hurricane top ten

So as many of you might have expected, another hurricane is now going to hit Florida. I'm kind of dissapointed becuase it seems as though it will miss Miami once again and hit a little north of us...but who knows we might get lucky and actually have some damage this time. Seriously, it's becoming a weekend gag. Someone on the radio yesterday said, "It's the weekend. You all know what that means...time for another hurricane." There are some benefits of hurricanes that I have experienced. So in honor of our tropical friend the hurricane...a top ten list:

1. You get to be lazy and sit around the house all day.
2. You have a good excuse to eat most everything in your fridge becuase the electricity might go out any moment.
3. You get to spend time catching up on a good book or blogging.
4. You learn how to put your shutters down, then up, then down, then up, then down one more time.
5. It's a great excuse for a party!
6. You get to mock news anchors who try to pretend that they know what they are talking about, but are really just stalling for time in between weather updates.
7. Becuase the shutters are down you can sleep any time of day or night without annoying sunshine waking you up.
8. No school.
9. Less traffic becuaese only idiots are out on the roads.
10. The possiblity of random looting could help you score that new laptop.

I'll let you know how this hurricane ends up. Jeanne is her name and right now she is occupied with slamming the Bahamas. For the most part though I'll probably be bored out of my mind and sick of sitting inside in the darkness. As soon as I can I'm going to the beach.
